Brief Synopsis

Bosses find Mayme irresistible, so she goes from one secretarial job to another fighting off their advances. To solve the problem, she decides to work for a woman, and gets a job as Mrs. Von Puyster's social secretary. As a precaution, however, against any romantic notions that Mrs. Von Puyster's dissolute son Jimmie may have, she makes herself as ugly as possible. Endearing herself to Mrs. Von Puyster, Mayme goes about reforming Jimmie, and also saves her employer's daughter Elsie from marrying a fortune-hunting count. Jimmie then discovers that Mayme has been disguising herself as an old maid, and after he sees how she really looks, he convinces her to marry him, thereby delighting Mrs. Von Puyster, who is willing to lose Mayme as a secretary if it means gaining her as a daughter-in-law.
